Autoexe Sports Tunable Suspension Kit - RX-8 (SE3P)

I am selling off a mint Autoexe Sports Tunable Suspension Kit for the Mazda RX-8 (SE3P). This is a full length height adjustable suspension kit that puts sports performance first with features like a hard setting mono tube damper and linear rate race spring, and an aluminum upper mount with enhanced bush.

Without interfering with cooling performance, the newly developed thin φ40 piston reduces friction surface, which decreases friction during damper operation. This has the effect of facilitating uniform handling while simultaneously restricting discomfort. The damping force is adjustable in 12 levels.

Bought this at USD 2,600 excluding shipping. Am selling this mint coilovers at just USD 1,450 shipped.

Hi. These are from Autoexe. You can refer to their website here: http://www.autoexe.co.jp/products/TU...unablesus.html

It's plug and play. Remove the whole set of your factory dampers and springs, insert this in. That's it mate.

It uses a bolt lock to secure the perch which I am not a fan of but whatever.

Its still a good deal for those autoexe fanbois.

These have just done 12,500 miles. The specs are as below image.
Front 7kg/mm Rear 3kg/mm

CorkSport sells these for USD 3,096. Looks like this IS a good deal. Prices have certainly gone up.

Thanks for the information.

Good rate up front at 392 lb/in, but the rear is pretty soft at 168 lb/in. Should be more like 230-240 lb/in. Did you find the back bobbing a bit? (Did you take it to the road track at all?) I have 145 lb/in now with 205 lb/in front and the rears are too soft. Stock spring rates are 156/113 (Buick soft... )

Doesn't look like they are standard springs, so unless AutoEXE offers cheap springs in other rates, I'm not as excited as I was at first.

I am pretty sure Autoexe knows what they are doing. Someone in this board posted that before the suspension upgrade, he went around Tsukuba with a best time of 1'15.888. After the upgrade, he was surprised that he did a best of 1'12.723.

That's a huge improvement!
